RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 5 (5 OCTOBER 2025)

TOPIC: MY ENEMY: SATAN

OPENING PRAYER:

Father, uncover every satanic device before me in Jesus’ mighty name.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

The assistant teacher should review the lesson for the previous week.

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Isaiah 14:12-17

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

MEMORY VERSE:

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the seal for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12.

INTRODUCTION

The “world” is a battleground and the Christian life is a warfare. As Christians, we have a terrible enemy-Satan; who wants to destroy us (John 10:10a). Paul called on Christians to be “good soldiers” of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:3) and “to war a good warfare” (1 Timothy 1:18). Satan and his fallen angels are spirit-beings we cannot see, but they are real enemies of every child of God (Ephesians 6:11-12).

We need to study the enemy’s tactics to understand how to resist him.

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM:

To teach the church, how to maintain perpetual victory over Satan.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

Through this study, students are expected to:

1. Recognize Satan as a real enemy.
2. Understand Satan’s strategies.
3. Learn how to resist Satan and his agents.

TEACHING PLAN:

To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should

1. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discus-sion, and do class activities and assignments.
2. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
3. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

TEXT REVIEW: Isaiah 14:12-17.

C. Satan’s core task is to cause a chaotic situation by provoking destruction and keeping people in bondage.

TEACHING METHOD:

The Lecture Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: SATAN’S STRATEGY

1. Satan’s terrible mission against man is to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10a).
2. He knows that he has been defeated and eternally condemned to the lake of fire, but he wants to take as many people as possible with him (Revelation 20:7-10; 2 Peter 2:4). He does this by using

1. Lies: The Devil is called a liar and the father of all lies (John 8:44) who always attempts to counterfeit God’s principles and instructions through deception (Genesis 3:4-5; 13; Revelation 20:10).
2. Fear: He uses fear to keep people in bondage and make them stagnant (1 Peter 5:8).
3. Confusion: e.g. false doctrines (1 Timothy 4:1-3).
4. Temptation and accusation: He tempts us to act on addictive urges and to yield to lust, im-pulses, selfishness and greed (Luke 4:13; 1Thes-salonians 3:5). He further accuses and condemns us for failing (Revelation 12:10).
5. Contention. The Devil understands that disagreement is a potent weapon to subdue the limitless power in unity. (1 Corinthians 11:18; Acts 15:39).
6. Discouragement/depression. Satan effectively uses this tool on believers (1 Kings 19:4).
7. Affliction. Satan afflicts people with sickness to hinder their efficiency (Job 2:7). He also afflic when he gains access to a man’s life through un-confessed sin (Psalm 107:17).

CLASS ACTIVITY:

Share any attack Satan has ever launched against you.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: HOW TO RESIST

1. When you are tempted, submit yourself to God and command the devil to leave (James 4:7).
2. Use the scriptures to subdue him (Matthew 4:4-11)
3. Locate the way out – escape route (1 Corinthians 10:13)
4. When Satan lies to you, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth and search the scriptures (Johr 8:32; 5:39a).
5. When there is contention and conflict that can degenerate into disunity, seek to make peace immediately without delay (Hebrews 12:14; Romans 12:18).
6. To overcome the strategy of discouragement/depression, engage yourself in serving others; work hard and avoid idleness, listen to godly music, recount your blessings and encourage yourself in the place of prayer (Ephesians 5:19; 1 Samuel 30:6).
7. If you are sick, request prayer from Elders in the Church or mature believers and exercise your faith in God’s ability to heal (James 5:14-15).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Have you used any methods above to defeat Satan’s strategy? Share with the class.

CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 5 October 2025

The word of God is a powerful tool given to believers to overcome Satan.

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 4 (28 SEPTEMBER 2025)

TOPIC: GOD’S TEMPLE

Note: Check RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN LYRICS

OPENING PRAYER:

Father, enlighten me about Your dwelling place and how to hallow it in Jesus’ name.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

The teacher should review the lesson for the previous week.

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 6:16-20

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

MEMORY VERSE:

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16.

INTRODUCTION

In the Old Testament, the temple of God was a physical structure in Jerusalem, a sacred place where God’s presence dwelled. The Greek word for “temple” is ‘naos, meaning the dwelling place of God.

In the New Testament, however, the temple is no longer a building but the physical body of every believer. When we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ, our body becomes His temple, and our heart becomes His throne (1 Corinthians 3:16).

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM:

To deepen the understanding of the church about the temple of God and how it should be reverenced.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

Through this lesson, students should be able to:

1. Understand the constituents of God’s temple
2. Distinguish between the temples of the Old and New Testaments.
3. Know how to hallow the temple of God.

TEACHING PLAN:

To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

1. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discus-sion, and do class activities and assignments.
2. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
3. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

TEXT REVIEW: 1 Corinthians 6:16-20.

A. The apostle Paul established in his epistle to the Corinthian church that the believer’s body must not be contaminated with immorality (V16).

This is because;

i. He that is joined …V17.

B. Therefore, believers must flee fornication.

i. Because … V18b.

ii. But he that committeth fornication … …V18c.

C. One of the evidences that your body is God’s temple is that:

i. The Holy Ghost …V19b.

ii. Which ye have of God, and ………V19c.

D. For ye are bought with a price: therefore

i. Glorify God……..V2Ob.

ii. And in your spirit, …..V20c.

TEACHING METHOD:

The Lecture Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE BELIEVER’S BODY

A. The apostle Paul profoundly describes the Church as the body of Christ and a sacred temple where God dwells.

1. He calls the Church “a holy temple in the Lord,” emphasising its unity as a spiritual family and dwelling place for God’s presence (Ephesians 2:19-22).

2. As believers, we are not just part of this collective temple but are individual temples of the Holy Spirit. Paul reminds us, “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?” (1Corinthians 6:19).

3. He warns that defiling God’s temple invites His judgement (1 Corinthians 3:1Z).

B. i. We become God’s temple through spiritual re-birth, as His Spirit comes to dwell within us (John 3:3-7; 2 Corinthians 6:16).

ii. This transformation makes us new creations in Christ, called to glorify God both in body and spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

C. It is a dangerous deception to believe that God only cares about our hearts while our bodies are inconsequential:

i. Such thinking leads to practices that dishonour the temple God has made sacred

ii. Our lives: body, soul, and spirit, must reflect His holiness (1 Thessalonians 5:23), as His presen.. within us calls for reverence and obedience.

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

What will you continue to do to keep God’s temple clean?

LESSON OUTLINE 2: REASONS BELIEVERS ARE GOD’S TEMPLE

Here are some reasons believers are God’s temple:

1. God’s Spirit dwells in believers thus, making their bodies a sacred dwelling place (1Corinthians 3:16).
2. Believers are temples of the Holy Spirit, purchased by Christ’s sacrifice (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
3. God lives among His people, making them His temple and dwelling (2 Corinthians 6:16).
4. Like living stones, believers are built into a spiritual house where God’s Spirit resides (Ephesians 2:22).
5. As God’s temple, believers serve as a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:5).
6. Being God’s temple calls believers to live holy lives, reflecting God’s holiness (1 Corinthians 3:17).
7. As God’s dwelling place, believers are transformed into His likeness, with His glory revealed through them (2 Corinthians 3:18).

These points emphasise the profound identity and responsibility of believers as God’s temple, showcasing the sacred connection between God and His people.

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Take a moment to appreciate God for making you His temple.

CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 28 September 2025

Being the temple of God is not merely a symbolic idea; it is a profound reality that demands we live in purity, honour, and submis-sion, offering ourselves as vessels for His glory.

EVALUATION:

Compare and contrast between the Old and New Testament temples.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Father, I receive the grace to present my body as a living sacrifice to You every day of my life.

ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual Lesson 4

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 2 (14 SEPTEMBER 2025)

TOPIC: THE HYPOSTATIC UNION

OPENING PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, help me to comprehend Your varying, yet distinct nature.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

The teacher should review the lesson for the previous week.

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Hebrews 4:14-16

14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

MEMORY VERSE:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14.

INTRODUCTION

The concept of hypostatic union states that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. He is simultaneously perfectly divine and perfectly human, having two complete and distinct natures at once. Jesus had always been God (John 8:58, 10:30), but at the incarnation, Jesus became a human being (John 1:14).

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM:

To understand and appreciate the dual nature of Jesus Christ being fully God and fully man, and to recognize the significance of this doctrine in the Christian faith.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

Through this lesson, students should be able to:

1. Know what the Hypostatic Union means.
2. Identify biblical pieces of evidence supporti.y the doctrine.
3. Understand Jesus’ Divine and Human Natures.
4. Reflect on how the understanding of Jesus’ dual nature impacts their personal faith and daily life.

TEACHING PLAN:

To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

1. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discus-sion, and do class activities and assignments.
2. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
3. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

TEXT REVIEW: Hebrews 4:14-16

A. This passage emphasises Jesus’ unique role as the High Priest who intercedes for us.

i. His ascension into heaven confirms His divine nature, while His empathy with our weaknesses and His experience of temptation confirm His human nature.

ii. Since we see that, we have:
…… V14a.
Let us …… V14b.

B. We do not have a High Priest who:
i….. V15a.
ii. But He was … V15b.

C. We should therefore boldly…….. V16.

TEACHING METHOD:

The Lecture Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: HIS DIVINE NATURE

A. The scripture is clear that Jesus is God (John 20:28; Titus 2:13).

1. Jesus claimed the divine name “I am” (John 8:58) and did things that only God can do (Mark 2:3-7).

2. He operated in the power of His divinity (John 11:43-44; Matthew 14:18-21).

3. He claimed divine authority (Matthew 28:18).

4. Jesus is God’s Son in that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). But that does not mean Jesus did not exist before He was con-ceived. Jesus has always existed (John 8:58).

B. An affirmation of the divinity of Jesus is required to be saved (Romans 10:9).

1. The apostle John provided a sober warning that those who deny Christ’s true humanity are promoting the doctrine of the antichrist (2 John 1:7).

2. The statement “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30) confirms Jesus’ divine nature, which includes omnipotence (Hebrews 1:1-4), omniscience (John 2:25), and perfection (Corinthians 5:21).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Share a personal reason you believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: HIS HUMAN NATURE

A. The humanity of Jesus is as important as His deity. Jesus was born as a human being while still being divine.

1. While the Godhead has existed and reigned from all eternity (Romans 1:20), the second Person of the Trinity, the Son, took on human flesh at a particular point in time (Luke 1:35; 1 Timothy 3:16.

2. When Jesus was conceived, He became a human being in addition to being God (John 1:1, 14).

3. Jesus became a human being to identify with us in our struggles (Hebrews 2:17-18).

4. More importantly, so that He could die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (Galatians 3:13).

B. Though He is fully God, Jesus (being fully hu-man) experienced the full range of human exis-tence: weaknesses, physical limitations, emotions, and temptations. For instance:

1. Jesus became hungry (Matthew 21:18) and fatigued (John 4:6).
2. He was sorrowful at some point (Mark 14:34).
3. He also socialised (John 2:1-5).
4. He showed compassion to those in need (Matthew 9:36).
5. He experienced the pain of betrayal (Luke 22:21, 47-48).

C. The humanity of Jesus enabled Him to be “tempted in every way, just as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Hence:

1. He suffered for us (1 Peter 4:1).
2. He was made poor (2 Corinthians 8:9).
3. He was despised (Isaiah 53:3).
4. He suffered physical pain and endured the sorrows of a lingering and cruel death (Hebrews
5. 12:2).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

What other things in the scriptures point to Jesus’ humanity?

CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 14 September 2025

The evidences about the dual nature of Jesus Christ abound as biblical truths that cannot be denied.

EVALUATION:

What aspect of God’s divinity stands out for you?

CLOSING PRAYER:

Jesus, You know what it feels like to be human without sin. Help me to walk before You and be perfect.

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Colossians 1:16-17

16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

MEMORY VERSE:

“O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” Psalm 104:24

INTRODUCTION:

The word “omnificence” is defined as the ability to create all things.

Omnificence rightly describes Gods unlimited power to create all things as noted in the Bible’s first verse: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

In Colossians 1:16-17, God is also affirmed as the Creator of all things. Although God is the Creator of all, He has given some of His creative ability to man.

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM:

To understand the concept of God’s omnificence.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

Through this lesson, students should be able to:

1. Understand the concept of omnificence.
2. Describe the omnificence nature of God.
3. Learn how a man can create like God.

TEACHING PLAN:

To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

1. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discus-sion, and do class activities and assignments.
2. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
3. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

TEXT REVIEW: Colossians 1:16-17.

The apostle Paul in his epistle to the church in Colossae revealed to us that all things in heaven, and on earth, visible and invisible were created by God.

1. These include: i) …… (ii) …… (iii)…….. (iv)… V16a & 16b.
2. All things were created (i)….. (i)……….. V16c.
3. He is (i)…..(iї)…V17

TEACHING METHOD:

The Lecture Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: NATURE OF GOD’S OMNIFICENCE

A. John 1:3 tells us that God made all things, visible and invisible (Colossians 1:16) through the instrumentality of His word (Hebrews 11:3). Hence:

i. God’s omnificence goes hand-in-hand with His omnipotence (all-powerful), and His omniscience (all-knowing).

ii. God was able to create without limitation (om-nificence) because of His power (omnipotence) and wisdom (omniscience) – Jeremiah 10:12; Proverbs 3:19

B. God’s creative work is an expression of His attributes (Romans 1:20):

i. Psalm 104:24-25 is full of praise for our omnifi-cent God: the Psalmist praises God for the creation of light, the clouds, the wind, the seas, the mountains, the valleys, the beasts of the field, the birds of the sky, the trees, the sun and moon, and the very rhythm of life. All are proof of God’s omnificence.

ii. Psalm 40:5 wonders at the depth of God’s om-nificence. God’s creative power is unlimited and beyond our ability to fully comprehend.

C. God is not only the Creator of all:

i. He also sustains all (Acts 17:28).

ii. The omnificent God who created the universe is the same God who cares for each one of us (Psalm 8:3-4).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Mention any three amazing works of God.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: NATURE OF MAN LIKE GOD

A. God created man in His image and likeness – depicting God’s attributes like holiness, intelligence and creativity (Genesis 1:26).

B. Although man is not omnificent, God gave man tremendous creative ability ‘being gods’ (Psalm 82:6). Man can recreate things in the similitude of the things God created (Exodus 31:3) for instance:

i. In Genesis 1:16 “God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night” but gave man the ability to create electricity.

ii. God can communicate with us anywhere and anytime, (Numbers 12:6-8) but He gave man the ability to invent communication gadgets like the mobile phone so that man can communicate with one another anywhere and anytime.

iii. God formed man from clay and made him a living soul through His breath (Genesis 2:7), man is inventing robots in the exact image of man called ‘humanoids’

C. Man is still in the process of fully harnessing his creative potential and just like Genesis 11:6b states “nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.”

D. There is a creative ability in every man (Job 32:8). All we need to do is to look inward and explore the thoughts, ideas, talents, and potential inherent in us to invent something for our benefit and the benefit of humanity (Psalm 8:5-6).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Are there things made by man that are not made from what God has already made?
